DKIM works well for what it does. Assuming that what the author describes as “revocable authorization” is a desirable feature (I don’t really get why a user wouldn’t just filter them with a block list or white list approach, but whatever) - how is this possible without a centralised provider?
If it’s only possible with a centralised entity like Twitter, it’s not going to scale to last centuries like email will.
- em-bee 6y agobecause current filter tools are not specific enough or easy enough to use for that purpose. i basically only got the option to mark something as spam and let the algorithm figure out why. i'd like to sort email by these categories: signed emails with a known/whitelisted key. signed emails with a known/blacklisted key signed emails with an unknown key. unsigned emails with a known/whitelisted email address unsigned emails with a known/blacklisted email address unsigned emails with an unknown address. and finally emails with obviously fake addresses. whitelisted keys go to my inbox. those will be spam free. blacklisted keys are blocked/bounced/sent to spam. new keys go into a new contacts folder with a spam rating based on content. then i walk through that folder and accept or block keys. for unsigned emails the same is done based on the address. whitelisted addresses get a spam rating in a second inbox. blacklisted addresses get blocked and unknown addresses get checked manually. unknown keys or addresses can further be separated into: received only one email from this address or multiple emails. when i reply to an email the key or address gets whitelisted automatically.
